Beating the monday blues

Hello dream shoe closet!

What better way to cure the Monday blues than to talk about shoes?? I recently was invited to a private lunch at Designer Shoe Warehouse in the heart of San Francisco. How could I pass a shoe shopping date hosted by the fabulous Melissa (Savvy in San Francisco) , Maria (Kitties + Couture) , Kristen (Stylenik) and Kate (The Fancy Pants Report) ? 

For those of you that have never visited DSW's new SF location, it is conveniently located in the heart of the shopping mecca that is Union Square. To get the full experience, I recommend hopping on the SF Cable Car and taking it up Powell Street directly to shoe heaven. Upon arriving I was greeted by four full floors of boots, heels, flats, and accessories...my heart seriously went boom for this new space. I got to see some familiar faces and meet new fashion bloggers but most of all I was able to get a peek at the new trends for fall. 40,000 square feet of shoes can be intimidating so make sure to use their in house stylist to focus on a few trends that will be relevant in the months to come.

Here are the two new fall shoes  I ordered online (counting down the days for them to get here):

1. Oxfords

Very girl meets boy closet and still functional for running around with a toddler.

Oxford Pump

2. All about ankles

These can be dressed up for date night (hint hint husband reading this) or made casual with some boyfriends jeans and slouchy cardigan. 

Peep Toe Pump
